I have to thank Vandal Tabby for this one.
We all know going to cons can get expensive, I like a good portion of you have to limit what cons I go to mainy due to how I make…which really isn’t a lot. Oh I see more stuff at fur cons than any place else where I could spend my entire paycheck 6 times over but I can’t.
Maybe were a bit lucky here in Chicago with Midwest Furfest having a Con Suite were we can eat for free. But any other place near the hotel can be expensive. Take the American Grill inside the Hyatt, even if you include the discount for con attendees it’s still $25 for an all you can eat meal. Which it a lot for one meal. In fact it’s usually more than what I spend at the grocery store during an average trip.
Being on Facebook I see posts from furries looking for a cheap places to eat. In fact last year on Midwest Furfest – Open Chat someone posted where was the nearest 7-11. Which we all know is cheap, but it’s far from the healthiest option for those 3 days.
It was a trip to an ethnic grocery store with Vandal Tabby that she had a fantastic idea. Make your own Con Survival Kit. Meaning take stuff with you to eat, rolls, crackers, canned meats, fruit, etc.
Nothing that would go bad on you, but stuff you enjoy. At least it beats running to 7-11 for one of there hot dogs.
